One of the reasons we don't have as expensive a living room as the Dork Family is that both my boys have taken pricey Karate lessons since they were 6. One has his junior black belt and is an adult brown belt, 1st degree. His brother will shortly be doing testing for his junior black belt.

This is known as "real life."

The Dork Family might want to try it sometime.

Their members then wouldn't look like prancing idiots, and might actually have learned something about real martial arts.

But what is reality, you may ask?

Ah! Metaphysics. But it's too early in the morning for that. Ask me on Twitter at 2:00 AM.

Computer courses and computer testing centers are working well in the State of Florida. They do impart basic facts and rest for comprehension well. But what will Americans do once Education no longer requires teachers in classrooms? There go all the rest of the jobs.

I don't know about this, I can see some serious issues with it already.

The 360 has a major mountain to climb due to the fact that the WII has already been established as the family console while the 360 has been mainly viewed as a console for gamers who like "mature" games.

Obviously this is being marketed toward families, but the fact of the matter is that one of the biggest conflicts between owners of the different systems is that those who own either a 360 or PS3 consider the WII a kiddy system. These type of people are highly unlikely to get a game/controller which they view as more of a toy.

Also one has to look at the age of the systems. Quite frankly, unless Microsoft gives this a major push, and I mean a brand new system type of push, the fact that the 360 has been out for so long will likely prevent any major adoption by families (it came out a year before the others and is still kind of pricey).

That said it will almost definitely have graphics that are better than the WII's and this could be merely a method of prepping the ground for the next generation of consoles.

In reality, we know where this is going: I suggest disposable plastic floor covering in front of this appliance. Who is going to opt for real life when this gets "fleshed" out a little more. Looking like a dork will be minor compared to getting caught "playing" with this. It's evil, we must stop this now before it is too late. A new Non- proliferation movement is needed.

Things like this have been tried for years. Remember the U-Force? Yeah, nobody else does, either.

How about the Eye-Toy for the PS2, which used an optical camera system to translate the user's flailing arm movements into on-screen controls?

Or this thing, the Sega Activator, which looks eerily similar to the Natal?

The Wii has been successful, but it still involves a held controller, which gives the user some kind of tactile frame of reference. It's easier to use a mini handheld steering wheel in a racing game than an invisible one.
